Dentist visit!!

** for some reason this didn't publish when I made it in May so here it is! Haha

Today was the day. I pushed it back long enough and finally got Dylan her first dentist appointment! The place we went is very cool. There are lots of wild animal jumping from the walls, ceilings and floors. They had video games and funny chairs and a big aquarium with super pretty fish. We waited a while and played, she met a new friend. They finally called her name and of course she didn't want to stop playing so that was the first step. She was so good and got on the scale and weighed (29.8 lbs) and stood against the wall to get her height (34 inches). She even stood against the wall in the room for them to take her picture. She took Minnie Mouse with her so of course Mickey Mouse was playing on the cool tv on the ceiling. She didn't want to lay on the big chair or use the headphones but wanted to talk about Mickey. The hygienist was so nice and gave her a little duckie to take home. She told us what all would happen and we practiced our best smile. The dentist finally arrived. She thought she liked her until... She pulled out those rubber gloves. The dentist did a full check on Minnie Mouse, who had perfect teeth, and then it was her turn! "No, no, NO!"... Then she got the little mirror and put it in mommas mouth. Her turn?? No way!! In the end we had to hold her down kicking in screaming which worked well for the exam. And after that 30 seconds, she was fine! Ha. She got a little toy and a cool pink toothbrush. Back in 6 months...

The First Day of School!

It was inevitable that this day would come. After spending every waking hour almost with this tiny human I never dreamed she would be starting school someday, especially this soon! She is still my little tiny baby! Well, maybe not my tiny baby because everyone knows how terrible that was...

But for those of you that know my little tiny baby, you know that her lifelong goal is to know where mama is every second of the day. Want to drop her off at the church nursery for an hour so you can actually listen to the service? Don't be crazy! Want her to have a fun time with her friends in moms group for two hours while you are in the other room? I don't think so! So while it would be nice to keep her my tiny baby she has to learn that sometimes mama has to leave and will soon come back. 

We got her all excited about it. She got a new lunch box and new books about school. She got a cute outfit and we talked about all the fun she would have while there. It was going to be the best day ever!! I got her out of bed at 7am which is way early for my night owl. It was still dark and I told her she had to get up to go to school. She very sleepily rolled out of bed and went to the bathroom and was soon a talkative mess about school. We got her all dressed and ready! 

She actually looked at the camera, smiled, and posed! Which is so not like her these days. 

She was so excited. She picked out her own shoes because the ones I had picked out just didn't float her boat and she couldn't wait to get in the car to go! 

We pulled up, she put her coat on, made sure she had her back pack and jumped out of the car. Then the playground... Oh that playground... We have to pass it to go through the doors. And she had a complete freak out! Because what does any kid want to do at 8am? Slide, of course!! I finally got her calmed down and explained to her we could only access the playground from inside the building (sounded like a legit thing). So we went in and she instantly started crying saying "I just wanna go home and see daddy"... The saddest thing ever! I got her to calm down and left as I heard her freaking out all the way to the door. 

But... She made it! They said they would call me if she was too upset and they never called. I was there promptly 5 minutes early to pick her up and there she sat with her new friends and her lunch. She couldn't wait to get her stuff and hit the door. She said she wanted to come back on Thursday so we will see... 

What's New and Expected!

It has been some time since I've updated this thing. Being a mom of a 2 year old is exhausting sometimes! We have had a summer chock full of fun and vacations on every turn. We received some amazing news recently and I thought it was the perfect time to update the blog... And stick to it! We are expecting baby number two! 

This is the first positive we finally got out of many negatives. I was sure I was pregnant for so long! Haha. 

Got to the doctor and had my ultrasound and the due date is set for May 13th which makes me about 9.5 weeks now. 

Hi baby!! It was just waving at me. Dylan was so good the whole time and watched the baby on the tv. She is still undecided right now if she is excited. Some days she is and then other days she says "no baby, I'm the baby!" It should be interesting I'm sure. 

It has been a very different pregnancy than Dylan. Food is the last thing I want right now and I'm so tired. Hoping I start to perk up soon! I am not sure it has really sunk in yet so I'm still waiting on that to happen... Can't wait to see what's in store for round two!! 

Bob said baby number two always gets the short end of the stick but I plan on doing all the great pictures I did with Dylan!! So stay tuned...
